Coca-Cola Dominates Fast Food Beverage Market with 15 Key Partnerships
The Coca-Cola Company has secured partnerships with numerous American fast-food chains to supply their soft drinks. Among them are Arby's, Culver's, Domino's Pizza, Five Guys, Jack in the Box, Jimmy John's, Panda Express, Popeyes, Sonic, Wendy's, Whataburger, and White Castle. Each of these restaurants has made a commitment to Coca-Cola products, often at the expense of Pepsi.
Culver's switched from Pepsi to Coca-Cola in 2023, but its decision was met with anger from some customers. The restaurant didn't provide an explanation for the change. Meanwhile, Domino's Pizza has renewed its exclusive partnership with Coca-Cola multiple times, including a recent extension through 2030.
Some chains have been loyal to their beverage supplier since their inception. Sonic, for example, has offered Coca-Cola products continuously since the 1970s. The restaurant chain introduced customizable beverages in 2006 and partnered with Coca-Cola to create 'Coca-Cola Your Way' campaign in 2025.
Not all fast-food chains have made a commitment to one beverage supplier. Jersey Mike's and Subway, for instance, sell Pepsi products, while Firehouse Subs and Chick-fil-A offer Coca-Cola beverages.
